Saint Charbel Statue

Reviewed By monal278 - Sydney, Australia

A father promised St Charbel to build a statue for him if he cures his son and when the miracle happened the father fulfilled his promise and placed the statue on the highest point of Faraiya. So besides the beautiful hills, the amazing views from the top, the fresh clean crisp air, the place has a very spiritual feel with peace and calm taking over your feelings regardless of your religion and believes. Road is a bit windy at the end but local drivers seem to be OK with it and know how to maneuver around the bends.

Jeita Grotto

Magnificent underground caverns can be explored by boat and on foot.

Reviewed By CKAbbott - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

We were complete surprised by the wonder and magic of this place, it is a spectacular natural wonder and I would highly recommend a visit. The entry price os USD 12 is more than worth it for a walk through the upper level and a mystical boat ride through the lower level. More people should be taking about this stunning natural wonder.

We passed by this holy place after Paragliding Club Thermique. It's just 3 minutes away by car. We actually flew above it with pilot Elie Mansour and he suggested that we pass by to visit this amazing place. And glad we did :)

Beit Eddine

Reviewed By siatko

For some reason my wife and I did not really have this castle on our visit list but due to the weather not being great we decided to take the 45 minute drive and are so glad we did! Very pleasantly surprised at this little magical palace with great views of the valley, some beautiful colourful windows and amazing decoration on the walls and ceilings. Well worth a vista when in Beirut!

Monastery of St. Maron Annaya

Reviewed By johndA7803EA - New York City, United States

The convent hosts the tomb and life of Saint Charbel, the most famous of Lebanese Saints. His reputation is world-wide which led Saint Patrick Cathedral to host a shrine in his name inside the Cathedral in New York City. To visit the place where he lived and walked is a mesmerizing experience. After you visit, you regain an inner peace no matter what religion you belong to. Visiting the solitary place where he spent most of his life praying in solitary is a must stop as well. It’s a short drive away on a hilltop with amazing views, not to mention the deep emotional move when you contemplate the tiny room where Saint Charbel spent most of his life till he died. No visit to Lebanon is complete without a visit to Annaya.
